Preventing occupational cancers involves several strategies:
Substitution: Replacing hazardous substances with safer alternatives. Engineering controls: Using ventilation systems, enclosed processes, and other technologies to reduce exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE): Wearing appropriate gear such as masks, gloves, and protective clothing. Administrative controls: Implementing policies and procedures to limit exposure, such as regular breaks and rotating job assignments. Education and training: Ensuring that workers are aware of the hazards and know how to protect themselves.
